This is where I break with this smoke report template.
When I smoked this .3 joint, I immediately felt my heart rate go up a bit. It is a very cerebral high to which I feel slight pressure in behind my eyes, a slight ticklish feeling in my forehead. Slight disorientaion and euphoria for the first 15 to 20 min.
I feel upbeat and ready to be on the move with this...however, because of the headyness of this, it also made me a little off balance but that went away in about 1/2 hour. After about an hour, I'm fully relaxed with some cerebral effects still taking place.
I have a slightly dulled overall body sensation that keeps lingering throughout the 4 to 5 hours that the effects were noticeable, which is great if you have old, achey joints like me as it offers some relief and keeps your motivation up so you actually do something.

Nice report
+rep

Thanks Jer La Mota.

It's nice finally be able to post a smoke report. Jillybean (candybean or candystore pheno) is next in about 4 to 6 weeks.

I have let a few friends try the Berry Bomb and two of them said that they smoked the .3 joint I gave them and it obliterated them and they were still a bit high the next morning. I am almost afraid to grow that Honey Berry out to full maturity on the next go around which started today BTW.

Anyways, the Berry Bomb has put on a great performance and I expect awesome things from her as my grow is dialed in. I'm definitely considering other gear from Bomb Seeds.

Nice report, I was TORN between this and Purple Berry Diesel on my last order, took the later, still eyeing their Berry Bomb and THC Bomb though.

From what I have read and now experienced, Bomb Seeds seem to be quite stable and easy to grow with heavy yields,
and heavy trich production. They are somewhat underrated in my opinion and equates to a good value.

in a good way...........

Thanks MISSPHEOBE for the compliment and taking the time to check out the report.

Man that looks awesome ive never even smoked anything like that well theres alot of stuff on here ive never came close to all i can get is brown mexican dirt weed full of seeds good stuff is arround but i don't know anybody to get it from . Thanks for makeing me jealous and hate where i live LOL Maybe one day ill have my own crop like that Keep up the good work

nice report

awesome report! i've got a berry bomb @ 20 day flower and 2 thc bombs within a week of getting chopped. absolutely amazed by bombs seeds!

Thanks derekintn. Believe it or not, even the finest growers in the world all had a starting point themselves, some earlier than others and the point being is just keep at it and you will figure out your way of growing what you want.

Thankyou Typoerror.

You are yet another that have dicovered and have been well amazed at the results of Bomb Seeds' genetics. They don't have a huge lineup of strains and that's good because I am planning on procuring all of them.

Yeah bomb seeds are the $hit. and really nice report.

totally agree that they are underrated, most people seem very pleased after growing this and would grow it again.

Thanks for the detailed report, its pretty much the same experience I had with my Berry bombs aswell. How many weeks in flower was the plant chopped at?

Click to expand...

It was chopped at seven and a half weeks.

just chopped my berry bomb after 53 days but she was ready @ 47. smoked a lower bud after it dried and went into the jar, fucking amazed at how good it is before a cure.

Wanted to add a little imput, because I'm on my 2nd grow with Berry Bomb. I did 5 fem seeds, all sexed out female and finished with clones taken prior.

My first run, the biggest thing I noticed is it has a tendency to be very stretchy. This could just be my grow style, which is like 6 week veg, with lots of tops finished in 15gallon pots. My other plants, an indica Kush hybrid, and local Lemon Cake stand up fairly well on their own until almost harvest time, while this strain I basically needed to stake right away.

Flower time as described was fairly accurate, all 5 were pretty well harvestable at 7 weeks, but I held off to 8 when the rest of my ladies finished.

The pictures posted above are pretty representative of what I ended up with. The strong Lemony smelling phenotype I've seen described appeared in 2 out of 5 of my seeds.

My other 2 strains get heavier buds near the top of their stems. On this one the buds are less big and dense, however grow mature much further down the branches than my other types. Made for less bud density, however overall yield was similar to what I consider avg to above avg yielding strains. I am an extreme topper to maintain heights for indoor grows, I'm thinking maybe I could just be over topping. This yielded approx 225g after about a 7 week veg.

As stated previously the bud was not very dense, which hurts bag appeal to some, but in the lemony phonos, they smell awesome. The smoke is nice, indica dominant, and was pretty hard hitting in the few thin joints I smoked. Nice flavor with minimal flushing, and a 1-2 week air cure.

A couple words of caution: The plant grew very stretchy and spindly, and I was surprised when it ended up producing as much weight as it did. It kind of screwed up my lighting arrangement as it finishes over a foot taller than the other girls in my room.

Maybe due to the fem seed factor I'm running into gender issues. In veg(mind you because of scheduling some of these vegged 15-20 weeks) , multiple phenos of this strain started to actually flower before I moved them to 12/12. I let it go because it was days before I made the flip. At about week 6.5 I'm getting some hermie action on one of these girls. Found at least one giant seed, and alot of the lower less mature growth is growing seed sacks. The top buds however are nearly fully mature, and looking to yield approx the same or a little less than last time. This is also one of the very lemon scented phenos if that makes a difference. Shes almost done, and I haven't decided exactly what I'm gonna do with her yet.

Another issue is I had mites turn up this round. I've seen them once before in early flower and was able to get rid of them for a few months with various treatments. This time late in flower I ran into mites again, and I was forced to just control population. For whatever reason of 12 plants, 2 BBBs were the only ones noticably effected. Coincidence maybe because I don't fully understand plant resistances, however the mites love these girls, and even the plants touching these in the room are showing little to no signs of population.

Some had questions on coloring, and I did get on my hermie/lemon scented plant some purpling of the leaves in what is a particularly warm grow, though on my other 7 runs or so, no purple or blues.

Due to all the choices out there, I'm gonna definitely cut blueberry bomb after this round because of the possibility that they might be prone to mites, and hermie. No scientific data to back it up, but my BBBs of the 3 strains I have running are giving me all the trouble. I have had possibly stressing environmental issues, which have only effected this strain which would at a minimum put it in a category of more difficult to grow.

It does produce a good smoke, and is definitely the fastest flowerer I've done. Could harvest very viable quality smoke as early as 6 weeks.

I have heard of "Blueberry" strain having issues, and will not attribute this to Bomb Seeds necessarily as I want to try some of their other strains. As a testament to the legitimacy of Bomb seeds, what I ended up with fell into the exact description of what others have said, and the pictures of their buds look just like mine. So you should be able to buy with confidence from them that what you order is what you are getting and I consider their prices fair. Also 5 for 5 on the fem seeds.

I do agree with the stretching from seed. It was never a problem for me as I always grow with cages. My clones however, grow way more compact (18" from the start of 12/12 as opposed to 30"+ from seed) with much less internodal spacing.

Thanks for your input as it is nice to see fairly consistent results from others and if you ever have to start from seed again, you won't need to buy hundreds to find a similar plant again.

Good info, Im also on my 2nd run of berry bomb, 1 out of the 3 phenos stretches a LOT, however for me it is also the top yeilding pheno, but you do need to flip it to 12-12 early for this pheno. As for hermies - I did get some seeds in my last run (on bottom growth mainly), but a freebie seed I was givien from the attitude seedbank turned fully hermie and I pullled it out too late, so I was assuming it was that, that caused the seeds. I'll know after this run whether it is the berry bomb hermieing.
